Adonis Juvenile Novices' Hurdle


The Adonis Juvenile Novices' Hurdle is a Grade 2 National Hunt hurdle race in Great Britain which is open to horses aged four years. It is run at Kempton Park over a distance of about 2 miles (2,012 metres), and during its running there are eight hurdles to be jumped. The race is for novice hurdlers, and it is scheduled to take place each year in late February.

The event serves as a principal trial for the Triumph Hurdle in March. Since 1988 six horses have won both races – Mysilv, Katarino, Snow Drop, Penzance, Soldatino and Zarkandar. Prior to 1994 the race was known as the Tote Placepot Hurdle.
